The window tinting film has to come off. Presently has 2 flat tires and needs a batt...

No worries, you're super busy! I don't have FB but maybe I can get the kid to list it there. Thanks for the help, much appreciated!

'99 V70R Silver, 180k, runs & drives. MA/NH border

Letting the Falcon go to someone who can appreciate her and keep her flying. $ 2200 Best offer takes. I can't physically do the work she needs anymore, otherwise I'd keep her. Runs great, drives great. Highway speed is amazing. Date of manufacture 10/98, Sweden No known crashes/accidents (checked Ca...

Re: have to rebuild front brakes after one siezed. Opinions?

here was my run with the Falcon's front brakes; many people helped me, maybe some will be of help to you: 99 V70R front brake fun times because it was my kid's 'learning to drive' car I went with plain old rebuilt calipers from the local, figuring I'd have to replace them sooner than later ANYWAY......

Re: '99 V70R fix-up before sell, or no?

I replaced the fan motor the last time with a new one, but at that time, like you, I was planning to sell the car. I am surprised though that the used ones have failed that quickly.

I've replaced the fan motor four times with used units, replaced the resistor once...they all died quickly even with a teardown, cleanup and lub...
